After last night’s loss to West Brom at Anfield, Liverpool fans made their feelings clear and their centre-back, Daniel Agger was one of the players criticised for his performance...

The German loves a day off! He’s decided he hasn’t seen enough of London, so he’s in a black cab visiting the main tourist spots across London and taking a picture of himself at every one.

Just try telling Wayne Rooney that! The Manchester United star has been branded a ‘hooligan’ and a ‘demon’ by Spanish sports paper ‘Marca’. All just adding fuel to tomorrow’s eagerly awaited clash between Real Madrid and Manchester United.

With it being pancake day, plenty of footballs will be using today to indulge in some sweet treats. The ultimate question is always about what toppings to have. Check out what the Stoke striker has lined up...

To say that Bayern Munich are running away with the Bundesliga would be a huge understatement. They’ve only lost one game and are 15 points clear of Borussia Dortmund. It’s so easy...

Wayne Rooney revealed on Twitter last night that he pays the monthly fee for the Manchester United TV service, which amused new signing Wilfried Zaha....

Seeing two national sides meet and trade pennants is a tradition before an international football match, but when Turkey and Czech Republic met recently they decided to trade something else...

Spirits were lifted at West Brom today with a return to the training ground for a player who's been out injured. Ben Foster tweeted it earlier calling him the nicest man in football.

Steve Nash is a basketball legend over in America and a big ‘soccer’ fan, a Spurs fan. We know he’s very handy with the ball, but he’s also shown that he’s not bad with it at his feet either.

This is a sight that Spurs fans will be happy to see. The club only have two recognised first-team strikers. With one of them being injured and the other being on international duty, could Harry Kane be the answer? 

This weekend on 606: Robbie Savage and Mark Chapman will be your Saturday hosts at the slightly later time of 7 - 8.30pm and Alan Green will follow Manchester United v. Everton at Old Trafford on Sunday.

We’ve seen some bad goalkeeping howlers, but this has to be up there with the very worst we’ve seen. Do you think it’s terrible hand-eye-coordination or poor footwork from Egyptian, Amir Tawfik?

After the Argentine’s acute angle finish against Liverpool at the weekend, many have been reminiscing over tight angle finishes. Windes’ Vikings Paul Cliff scored four goals in a recent 5-0 win….

Peter Odemwingie’s transfer deadline day antics left us baffled and with more questions than answers. Whilst the situation may not have impressed West Brom’s staff and fans, there’s no doubt it’s done wonders for dressing room banter.

Bradford have won themselves many fans worldwide through their heroic performances in the Capital One Cup. With the final against Swansea at Wembley on the 24th February, Phil Parkinson’s side have got themselves a very high profile fan.

Manchester City fans, don’t get excited. Porto B’s Brazilian centre back Maicon Pereira Roque produced a sensational free kick on Sunday, which his countryman Roberto Carlos would be proud of

There’s been many a tough English centre half over the years who have left the field with their head bandaged up, playing through the pain barrier. So when Curtis Davies cut his finger, you’d expect him to man up and shrug it off.

It’s been well documented that Snoop Dogg is a Celtic fan. But the rapper is ready to take his interest in the Hoops to the next level, by getting up close and personal with the players ahead of next Tuesday’s Champions League tie against Juventus.

Sometimes a great piece of defending can have its consequences. In this case Fabio Ferreira who plays for Brazilian side Criciuma made a brilliant goal-line clearance…

The Brazilian who played for Manchester City for a couple of years is now back at Brazil playing for Gremio. He scored an absolute peach of a goal against LDU in the Copa Libertadores.

We’ve seen some pitches in poor condition, but none come as bad as this one in Iraq. It was in a game between Mosul and Bmlaabna Kalash.
